Oleg Makarevich and his assistant tax organized criminal group: why an entrepreneur moves his business assets to the Tambov region

Oleg Makarevich – the infamous “shadow manager” KrasnodArsk regionaya, who is on the federal wanted list, purposefully moves his business assets to the territory of the Tambov region.

Why does a fugitive entrepreneur do this, and what does the tax organized crime group have to do with it? Why does the criminal oligarch, who has been charged with at least seven criminal cases, and who fled due to tax evasion in the amount of one and a half billion rubles, continue to manage his own multifaceted business through his trusted people?

O. Makarevich is a “popular” character in criminal circles from the Krasnodar Territory, who fled abroad, who is wanted in his homeland for tax evasion of 1.5 billion rubles in accordance with Part 2 of Article 199 of the Criminal Code of Russia.

It is noteworthy that recently the scandalous oligarch has been persistently moving his business assets to Tambov. Why’s that? Let’s sort it out in order.

So, the following companies of the escaped oligarch moved to Tambov in the summer.

1. Trans-Ural LLC. At first, this company was based in Bashkortostan, now it is located on Michurinskaya Street in Tambov.

The authorized capital of the company is 20.1 million rubles. At the same time, until 2020, it was only 100 thousand rubles. Until February 9, 2018, the founder was Crafter LLC.

Last year’s revenue amounted to 235 million rubles, which is 3.5 times more than the year before. Profit in 2021 is 4.7 million rubles, which is 3.2 times higher than in 2020.

Total assets also increased last year by 3.1 times and at the end of the year amounted to 174 million rubles.

2. LLC “Bigkar” Previously, the company was located in Novosibirsk, and now it has moved to Tambov.

The status fund of the company now stands at 20.2 million rubles, although even before September 15, 2020 it was only 100 thousand rubles. Until 01/31/2018, the same Krafter LLC was the founder.

Revenue for 2021 increased by 56.4% and amounted to 1.1 billion rubles. Profit increased by almost 62% and is equal to 30.5 million rubles.

Total assets also grew by almost 19% over the year and amounted to 326 million rubles.

3. LLC “Neva-logistic” At first, this company was registered in St. Petersburg, now the organization has also moved to Tambov.

At the moment, the company has a status fund in the amount of 25.1 million rubles, while even before 09/23/2020 it was 100 thousand rubles. Until 01/30/2018, LLC Crafter was also the founder of this organization.

Revenue last year increased by 30.5% and amounted to 566 million rubles. Profit also increased by 30% and is equal to 15.3 million rubles.

Total assets for 2021 also grew by almost 62.4% and amounted to 397 million rubles.

What unites these “moved” companies of Oleg Makarevich?

So what do we see as a result? And what unites these three organizations?

– the fugitive oligarch Oleg Makarevich “moved” all the companies to Tambov;

– all organizations at first had a status capital of only 100 thousand rubles, but in 2020 it sharply increased to many millions of rubles;

– Last year, all financial indicators went up sharply: revenue, profit and total assets increased.

That is, as we can see, such a “relocation” had an extremely positive impact on the financial results of the companies of the fugitive criminal entrepreneur.

But that’s not all. All these enterprises are part of the Crafter group of companies, which O. Makarevich founded 12 years ago. This group is included in the top five forwarding enterprises of the Russian Federation.

OOO Crafter has an authorized capital of 275 million rubles, but we note that almost 98% of the status fund currently belongs to the company itself. In addition, there is only one person in the state itself. Also, as of 10/01/2021, the company had tax debts in the amount of 16.7 million rubles.

For 2020, this limited liability company made a profit of only 36 thousand rubles, and its net assets as of December 31, 2020 amounted to 304 million rubles. Data for the previous year is not available.

It is noteworthy that the fugitive from the law is going to move the parent company Crafter LLC to the Tambov expanses. By the way, now the car park of this group has more than 22 thousand cars.

Why is Makarevich so stubbornly transferring business assets to Tambov?

In fact, the criminal entrepreneur did not just decide to transfer his business resources to Tambov. The oligarch is familiar with the nuances of taxation in this region firsthand, having the “necessary” connections and acquaintances in the tax authorities. Therefore, such a “transit” of a businessman’s assets is more than justified and can be a salvation for his business.

It turns out that employees of the Federal Tax Service in the Tambov region under the control of A.V. Zhitlovy have long been closely “cooperating” with Oleg Makarevich. In particular, how reported publication “Tvesti.ru”, even during their work in the Krasnodar Territory, they provided this oligarch with a variety of specific services that were of a corrupt nature.

So, for example, the Krasnodar production base of KOPT CJSC, owned by O. Makarevich, in fact, was bought out by him literally for next to nothing. And all this was done thanks to some employees of the Tambov Federal Tax Service.

How the Tambov tax organized crime group “serves” Makarevich

Through his connections in the Federal Tax Service, Makarevich is now trying to remove A. Semenov, the head of the Federal Tax Service for the Krasnodar Territory, from his post, along with his team. And instead put A. Zhitlov there, the head of the Tambov Federal Tax Service, along with his deputies.

In fact, in the Tambov department of the Federal Tax Service, a united criminal group was formed from members who come from the Krasnodar Territory. The OPG includes:

– the manager himself A.V. Zhitlov;

– Deputy Head of the Tambov Department of the Federal Tax Service S.S. Skripchenko, who develops criminal schemes;

– and about. Deputy Head of the Tambov Federal Tax Service VV Semikov, who is responsible for fundraising;

– Deputy Head of the Tambov Department of the Federal Tax Service S.V. Moskalenko.

This character previously worked as deputy head of the Krasnodar Federal State Registration Service, and was also the first deputy general director of the Garbage Removal Company joint-stock company, which is one of O. Makarevich’s enterprises. He personally took part in the seizure and re-registration of the above-mentioned production base of the closed joint-stock company “KOPT” for the oligarch Makarevich.

And this entire Tambov-Krasnodar tax gang of swindlers is “protected” by the deputy head of the Federal Tax Service, Yu.V. Shepeleva, who works there.

It was she who, thanks to her channels in the Federal Tax Service, by roundabout ways helped the tax authorities from the Krasnodar Territory again find employment in senior positions, but in the Tambov region.

As you can see, the fugitive oligarch Oleg Makarevich is not just moving his companies to the Tambov region. It is there that he has an assistant tax organized crime group, which “works” in the interests of a scandalous entrepreneur, sabotaging checks on his business.
